7 Secrets Destroying The Candidacy of Mitt Romney (That the RNC does not want you to know!)

(DAILY PAUL) Just when you think it is all over, a combination of strategies and the well timed drop outs of Santorum and Gingrich have thrown this race wide open again. Enough so to allow intrepid young Ron Paul supporters to race across the country and pick up delegates for their candidate. But that is just the start of Mitt Romney’s problems.

AP/NYT give Romney a delegate count of 847 which many other counts also mirror. However, the simple, straightforward and very transparent breakdown on Wikipedia’s Republican Primary Results clearly shows only 599. Even if Romney were to earn the endorsement of the vast majority of the 153 superdelegates his numbers do not improve much beyond 700 delegates. Even these numbers seem fake by what you will read next…

The 14 states remaining in the primary calendar with 816 delegates up for grabs together with about 30 state conventions from states past and future on the primary calendar have yet to allocate more than 1,100 delegates (over 1,916 total delegates unallocated). There are only a total of 2,286 delegates.83% OF ALL DELEGATES HAVE YET TO BE AWARDED!!!

If it wasn’t for the media and political establishment of both parties pushing this idea of Romney’s inevitability this race would have been contested more strongly and for longer. But thanks to that, Ron Paul’s campaign has more than 2 months to work on organizing a convention plan to win the nomination from the floor.

2) RNC Rule 38: Delegates can vote their conscience.

A delegate has the grounds under Rule 38 of Rules of the Republican Party to vote as a free agent. Also stated, there has never been any legal obligation for a delegate to vote according to instructions from their state. (SOURCE: FairVote.org).

This means that whatever delegate support for Romney or any other candidate in the first round of the convention are now in question because of Ron Paul supporters sneaking in everywhere to become delegates. In Massachusetts, for instance, Ron Paul supporters took over 40% of the delegates despite the state having been won by Romney.

In application, a Ron Paul or simple Anti-Romney majority at a state convention could change the rules and assign the entire state delegation to Ron Paul, despite the election outcome. Also, at the RNC convention a majority could move vote to replace the chair, change the bylaws/platform and even choose their own nominee.

The procedure requires a super two-thirds majority in order to “suspend the rules” for the session (SOURCE: Robert’s Rules of Order on Removing the President). If you don’t think a super majority is possible then explain why the RNC cares so much about control and procedures, especially in Nevada.

It is a 2 man race and turn out is so low that Ron Paul supporters might just take popular vote totals. Low turnout is because of the popular notion of Ronney as “presumptive nominee” and the quitting of Santorum and Gingrich giving voters no reason to go to three polls unless of course their committed Ron Paul supporters or really dislike Romney and want to send a message (I guess there could also be some people madly in love with Romney too, but I digress).

Pennsylvania demonstrated this fact too well. There were 23,983 fewer votes for RP than 4 years ago (2008: 129,323 compared to 2012: 105,340). It may be possible in fact to win the remaining popular votes if the campaign can successfully motivate just the Ron Paul turnout from 2008!

An alliance of these forces under the “Anyone BUT Romney” (ABR) which was what led to the rise and fall of 5 candidates in the polls and advanced Santorum to real political threat will most likely form through next week’s contests and onward to a floor fight in the convention.

This is a BIG question on everyone’s minds looking at next week’s contests in Christian Conservative strongholds of West Virginia, North Carolina and to some extent Indiana.

6) RNC Intervention a SIGN of things to come.

The Establishment is showing that it is taking this threat seriously. The RNC is taking unprecedented steps in directly intervening in the process at the state level. Nevada’s recent threat is a key example. And the media is still either ignoring or attacking Ron Paul. Your enemies attack you only when they see you as a threat.

If word got out to the Republican rank-and-file that the RNC and Romney campaign are taking these threats seriously then they would have hope to still change things around and defeat Romney/Obama.

The tighter they grip their fist on the process, the more their control will slip.

Disliked by Republican activists (but I repeat myself)
Despite the “presumptive nominee” image, the Romney camp could not break into 70% popular support in the recent primary contests despite the low turnout environment.

Clearly, at least 30% of Republicans do not support him even after an intense media and establishment campaign to crown him the Republican nominee. This stalwart group distrusts Romney and his liberal agenda so much that it even prompted Speaker Gingrich to appeal to them by referring to Romney as “a liberal and a liar who is no different from Barack Obama.”OUCH!

One Response to 7 Secrets Destroying The Candidacy of Mitt Romney (That the RNC does not want you to know!)

First off, the RNC does not care that Romney can’t beat Obama, their agenda is to make sure Ron Paul does not get the nomination, and that means at any cost. We have already seen them steal many, many primaries from Paul and do not expect them to let Paul get the nomination even if he gets 99% of the vote. It will be up to the American people to enforce a fair, valid and secure convention and election. The establishment has no credibility or integrity left, and that means none, zero, nada. Goodbye RNC, we will not vote for your stooges any longer.
